Where this word comes from
From Middle English wiket, from Anglo-Norman and Old Northern French wiket, from Old East Old Norse víkjask (“to move oneself, move around”), reflexive of víkja, víkva, ýkva (“to yield, turn, move, go”), from Proto-Germanic *wīkwaną (“to yield, bend, turn”). Compare modern French guichet, ultimately from the same Old Norse source.
